Fishers Girl - Looking for support!

Hi everyone!

I live in Fishers and am pretty excited to have this group. I am just starting my 150lb weight loss journey on my own - something I thought I couldn't do! I was just a semi-finalist for Extreme Weight Loss, but I was rejected as they chose the finalists to go to LA. I was pretty bummed, which is probably an understatement. I decided to start a Facebook page to have as many supporters and accountability partners as possible and joined MFP to track what is going in my body.

I'd love to be MFP friends and for you to follow my journey! I am totally new to living a healthy life and would love your tips and suggestions!

    I'm from Lawrence, just next door to Fishers. I'm also just starting out and planning to lose 120 pounds. I'll follow you on your page. If you find any cool local events participate and post about it. That would be so cool.

    I work out at the Fishers and the Fort Ben Y. If you ever go there maybe I'll see you. I'd like to meet people my size at the gym. I get intimidated by all the skinny Fishers moms.

    OH MY GOSH I KNOW!!! Right now a gym membership isn't in the budget, but as soon as I re-join I'll let you know!

    Good luck!! I'm over on the northeast side, and love hiking over at Fort Ben. Maybe I'll see you there!
  • Hi. Just wanted to say that something that has helped me drop some water retention and helps me keep good hydration.... Coconut Water. Trader Joe's has a good price on their brand & is 100% not extract. Today I stopped by Earth Fare in Hamilton Town Centre today after work. They have cans of the same -- but another brand. It also is not from concentrate. I bought 12 cans tonight since it was on sale. It is about 17 oz. for ~$1.20 each . A good price. Just happened to run across it and stocked up for this week. Coconut H2O - as I understand has same / better electrolyte mix - plus is all natural. For me it is also lower cost than Gatorade. My face and other areas have shown a difference since I started a few weeks ago. Plus I feel an energy boost from it in about 5 minutes or so. It will also boot your potassium intake, if you desire that. A friend of mine said that it helps take out the Sodium intake by grabbing unwanted Sodium and flushing it out faster.
